The Scarlet-horned Manakin is a passeriforme of the family Pipridae.
It is 12.5 cm in length. The male is black with a red head on which the feathers of the hindcrown are elongated to form two “horns”. The thighs are also red and the iris is white. The female is olive-green with a paler belly. There is a slight tuft on the hindcrown and the iris is darker than the male's.
Like other members of the family, the male has a complex lekking display. The red thighs are displayed conspicuously and there are rapid flights, tail flicking and “moon-walking” involved. The lek size is smaller than in many congeners.
Varia de incomum a comum nos estratos baixo e médio de florestas úmidas e capoeiras maduras.
Presente no Brasil apenas no Estado de Roraima, na região do alto Rio Branco. Encontrado também em parte da Venezuela e na região adjacente da Guiana.
